Ethereum Provider API

Brian R. Bondy edited this page Sep 27, 2021 · 30 revisions

Brave injects a windows.ethereum provider object on all pages.

This object gives websites the ability to:

  • Make requests to an Ethereum node to read data
  • Request permission to 1 or more Ethereum accounts
  • Ask the user (if given permission previously) to sign / submit a transaction
  • Ask the user (if given permission previously) to sign a message

Disabling the Ethereum provider object insertion

The Ethereum provider object can be disabled from brave://settings/wallet by changing the Default cryptocurrency wallet to None.
